Match Thread : Atalanta v Liverpool

[jr81]

Atalanta probably haven't had an easier game in a long time - even being a goal down.

We absolutely posed no threat at all to them in this game.

They have worked hard for that though. Pressed right up on us and kept with us. Kept on running and stuck to their plan. We couldn't string 2 passes to get out of our half the last 30mins.

Why bring Nunez on at No9 that should be well & truly fucked right off this season now LFWD or not at all Gakpo or Jota at 9

Glad the poor subs made no difference. because they're just as bad.

Jota aside

[justincredible]

Awww, did we not winned big?

ItS cUz we are gAssed because they all eat pies and not professional athletes

andddddd thats why we miss 100000 chances, we've not even had many tonight mind

Thought replacing the midfield would fix us being gasseD?

Excuses. fuck off.

pathetic performance, again Klopp knows what he's doing, that's why he's off.

Exactly. Steveo just needs to have some semblance of respectability so he's putting tonight down to injuries.

We missed our chance first half, second half they've upped their press and we've played into it with no tactical solution. Jotas played most of his time in Midfield and no effective outball.

Klopps been done over 2 legs, shit happens. Much like our games v united. Application not ability.

That's because they knew it would work.

Any team that presses us high and early typically nullifies us.

We've been worked out and Atalanta clearly have been watching footage from our games in the league.
This has worked time and again.

Press high and early and we'll cough it up in midfield with lazy careless passes.
Don't overcommit in defense and we'll waste our crapload of chances created.

Wash.
Rinse.
Repeat.

Leverkusen through

can 't see them not winning it,

[jr81]

Fulham beat spurs 3-0 at home a bit ago boyss sunday might be really the end

It will be tough. We look tired and devoid of ideas. Some of these will have to play Sunday and they look mentally and physically shattered.

Second half really, agree wholeheartedly.

Correct, but not many can implement it the way Atalanta did. That was discipline. They didn't leave out CBs build from the back. Kept right up on them. Most teams drop off on us. But it needs discipline and they worked hard at it. Fair play to them
